Yafe ate 5 days ago, but I wanted to get him on a Sunday feeding schedule along with all the other snakes.
I figured I'd offer tonight and if he didn't eat, I'd offer again next Sunday.
Not only did he eat, he ate from his top branch! It was awesome to see him eating like a true Carpet Python! GO YAFE!
He must be feeling much better and getting his strength back!
I am so happy.
He will be on a weekly feeding schedule for a bit and then as he gets bigger, every two weeks, and eventually, possibly every 3 weeks, depending on the size meals I feed him.
Here are pictures of him eating the "Carpet Python Way" and then finishing swallowing and feeling full and happy.
P.S. EL-Ziggy and Bogertophis, notice the rubber bands! The top perch was cut perfectly and fits really snug. The bottom one, not as well. The rubber bands help a lot. The ones I got from Jeff are both very snug and there is no issue. If cut with a table saw, I imagine it would be better, but for $8, home depot cut with a human and a regular saw. I wanted to see how this size fit, but if I get more, I'll have them cut with a table saw, or I'll have my buddy who has one cut them for me.
